Question: Arghh. Homework Helppppppppp?

I have to make a Math game (ie; boardgame, cardgame, whatever.) and it has to be at seventh grade level, which is mostly decimals, negative and positive numbers, multiplying, and dividing.

I have no clue what to do for the game. It has to be creative..

I really hate asking for this kind of stuff, but does anyone have any ideas?

Answer: You could have a path to follow, as in that old favorite Candy Land.

On each turn, the player gets a problem to solve from some cards.

Either have cards with complete problems on them,
or separate cards with numbers and other cards with operations.
Or just cards with numbers, and you can use whatever operations you want.

The player either solves the problem or says "No solution".
If the other players agree, then the player wins the turn,
otherwise he loses the turn.

Winning the turn means advancing along the path, by an amount
determined by spinning a spinner or rolling dice (or maybe just one die).
Losing the turn means going back, by an amount similarly determined.

You could make it that more difficult problems are worth more spaces
to advance (and less to go back), and easier problems the other way around.

First one to reach the finish line wins the game.

If you wanted to make it more elaborate, you could make some of the places
on the path special in some way (extra rewards, penalties, or what have you).

Question: What kind of math formulas can you come up with that would create the perfect offensive and defensive plays?

Look with all the math questions we see pop up in here, I think it would be fun to use math in hockey. Certainly there has to be math involved somehow in the game right? Hell, Physics has been used in the understanding of the game and that involves some deal of math.
I like Math as long as I know how to do the problems right!!!

Just make up anything Kate, even if you copy and paste from a book!!!

Answer: If p = pass and s = shoot and g = goal then
3p + s = g

then find x if v = save and c = check

2p + s - c = xv
